"content": "recognizing that the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution assigns to the national Government the function of the construction and operation of national trunk roads; noting that a significant portion of highways in the national trunk road network are currently single carriageways; concerned that single carriageway roads pose multi-faceted challenges including traffic congestion during peak periods which limits movement of people, goods and services across regions and increases vulnerability to road accidents; further concerned that the lack of footbridges and safe pedestrian crossing areas on those high-traffic roads has been a leading contributor to the surge in road accidents in the recent past; cognizant of the duty of the Government to provide a reliable transport system for efficient traffic management, economic development and bolstering inter-connectivity among all regions in the country and beyond; now therefore, this House resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Roads and Transport, undertakes an expansion programme of national trunk roads with a view of upgrading all classes A, B and C roads in the country from two-way lanes to dual carriageway (one- way roads) with the necessary infrastructure that include footbridges, safe crossing zones at regular intervals, proper drainage systems, and other requisite infrastructure for their optimal operation."

"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining regarding alleged dumping of hazardous nuclear waste in the north and north-eastern parts of the country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there have been claims in the recent past that sometime in the late 1990s, the Government of the late President Daniel arap Moi, through the Ministry of Energy, okayed the dumping of toxins including nuclear waste in the north-eastern region. Research has proven that nuclear waste is associated with high cases of cancer. Owing to the harmful effects of nuclear waste, the claims of nuclear dumping in the north and north-eastern regions have stirred discomfort and health challenges which include an epidemic of cancer, especially among residents who believe that the rampant cases can be traced back to the dumping of nuclear waste. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining on the following matters: 1. Could the Committee undertake an inquiry into the alleged illegal dumping of hazardous nuclear waste in the north and north-eastern parts of the country, including its environmental effects and the association with high cases of cancer that are reported in those parts of the country? 2. State the measures that the Ministry has put in place to ensure that the residents of that region, whose land was illegally used for dumping of hazardous nuclear waste, and whose health has been directly affected by the harmful chemicals, are fully compensated. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
